Make sure you go to Granite State Comic Con on Sep 19-22 so you can pick up this sticker. I was asked to design a sticker for The Thirsty Moose Taphouse for a passport event. Lots of great local artists contributed! #comics #stickers #beer #comiccon

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

I watched Dream Scenario yesterday for the first time... What a trip. If you like the strange movies Nicholas Cage has been in, you should watch this

I was digging through my old artwork looking for some temporary tattoos I made for my kids when I stumbled on this from maybe 12 years ago. It's pencil colored in photoshop

After stopping by to see the TMNT creation marker I was thinking how much influence New Hampshire has had on pop culture. I visited the hometown of Archie Comics artist, Bob Montana, a few years ago and sat with Archie himself on a park bench. #comics #comicshistory #archiecomics #archie

I stopped in Dover yesterday to check out the Ninja Turtles creation site. I can't imagine making a short comic with a friend and having my life completely changed within 5 years. #tmnt #turtles #comics #comicshistory #80s

I’ll be the first to say it…
This single panel comic portrays a scene of a burned down building made from marble columns. Smoking piles of ash pile up in the background. At a marble table we see two men, a short man with a chin beard cringes, next to a tall bald man with a bushy, grey beard. They both wear white togas. Next to them is a poster with an image of the short man holding an armful of scrolls and holding a torch that reads “Take your torch to work day!” The short man says: I’ll be the first to say it… NOT MY BEST IDEA. The title under the comic reads: The Librarian of Alexandria. ——— Want 5,000 more comics like this?

The cargo pants convo with Heidi sparked this visual, and once it was in my head, I had to draw it. Liefeld’s art hit 80s/90s teen-me hard. It was chaotic, angry, and iconic, & I DID dig it at the time. So yeah, it’s a loving parody, feet and all, tied back to that “SHOE” strip from a few weeks ago.
"Finding Dee – EXTREME Fashion!"Panel 1: Heidi, pushing a shopping cart, excitedly points at a clothing rack. Heidi: “Holy crap, check it out Dee. Cargo pants! Are they coming back in style?” Dee: “I have never known what has ever been ‘in style.’ I’ve had the same fashion sense for 5 decades and 2 genders.”Panel 2: Heidi gleefully holds up a pair of cargo pants. Heidi: “I guess everything comes back around. Ooooh! I LOVE soooomany pouches and pockets.”Panel 4 (Fantasy Panel): A hyper-stylized, Rob Liefeld-inspired Dee bursts into the scene in exaggerated ‘90s comic fashion—bulky armor, belts, shoulder pads, massive hair, and tons of pouches and gear, including a scrunchie with pouches. Dee: “It’s a bit extreme, isn’t it?” Heidi: “If by ‘extreme,’ you mean ‘awesome,’ then yes.”Panel 5: A puff of smoke marks the end of the fantasy. Heidi and Dee are back in the store. Heidi points to another rack, surprised. Heidi: “Holy $#!! Are those JNCO jeans on that rack?!”Panel 6: Dee, chucks a thumb back towards the previous panel. Dee: “Darn. I should have tried on some cute shoes while my feet were all tiny in that other panel.”

This guy is a new character in the What the Eft comic based on a spotted salamander. He has only been teased in the strip so far.
